Rareware has a very good history as a video game company. They made Donkey Kong Country, Banjo Kazooie, Goldeneye, and many more. One of their more recent games is Kameo Elements of Power. It's a fantasy game in which you get to transform into various characters and fight trolls. It may look like a fairy tale kid's game, but fans of any action or fighting games will eat this up. The first thing that I have to say about this game is that the graphics were good for two years ago when it came out. The Xbox 360 had yet to be fully tapped then. You will see no jagged edges. Also, if you have an HD setup, prepare for a huge boost in resolution. That's what I've heard from people who didn't play it on a crap 20 inch screen anyway. The sound is incredibly epic. I even thought that one of the songs played in the game could have been put in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and people would've liked it better. The gameplay is very fun if you like to do things your own way. You can pick your favorite transformation to play as, and kill the games enemies that way. I thought that the story was pretty good until the end. After that, it got way too confusing. Just be sure to listen to what is said really fast. Overall, get this game if you love Rareware, fairy tales, or action/fighting games.
